Christmas Break

Yes! Break.

I am excited about the break, not because of the christmas tree or the gifts.. well maybe gifts, but mainly because it is homework free! Stress is unlikely to be free, since you can always count on relatives for that at family gatherings. Rob and I have safely arrived at Pheonix, AZ for christmas with his parents. Mine are also coming over later on this week. It will be a "parents" christmas filled with awkward moments and embarrassing stories. Like that time you peed your pants, or that other time you went to the wrong bathroom... and all these other times that you don't want to talk about.

Our trip was alright. Southwest were on time. We did some christmas shopping today, driving around in the sexy sexy BMW Z4. (Thanks, Tom and Carol) It is a cool idea.... but just way to tiny for us. Especially when i' m used to driving around in a big tall SUV, suddenly i am a field rat running around on the ground, or it feels like it. I would rather have a bigger car. In the matter of getting killed and killing. I choose the latter.

Carol got sick from her beloved grandson, Logan. It is just the classic bitter sweet. Because of her Lupus, it takes a long time for her to get over even the commonest cold. I wish she could get better soon. She is the sweetest lady ever. And she has this glamorous personality. It's like being with a very down to early movie star, charming and lovable!

I'm going back to Texas with my folks on 26th. Really looking forward to see Elaine. I heard there will be lots of stories. I really should email her. I got to see Aaron, Guanting and Jane before i left, jane jane left campus real early this semester (grrrr)... I didn't get to see jason, which i sorta looked forward to. oh well... i got a couple of the grades back, they are not super great. but i'll see to that later.

Happy holidays everyone! I will be driving my sexy Z4 till 26th!
